[3.3] CI Wandcultist - League starter - Fast mapper - Guardians on a 5L - Shaper down

Added Shaper video.

edit: added Chimera video.

Looks cool, thinking about making this my next build. Any downsides to it besides the slightly lower movespeed?

Also what do you think about this new body armor

You think it would be any good on this build?

Leveling might be tougher since your first 2 ascendancies are purely defensive to set you up for CI transition, but at the current point in the league you should be in a good spot since levelling uniques are a lot cheaper now.

The only other downside is that it's hard to get Profane Bloom explosions going on a smaller budget because we don't have room for Blasphemy curse, so you need either curse on hit gloves or a ring to have them reliably up vs packs. That's why on a super budget you don't get full benefit from your last Ascendancy. But in all honesty, even without it you can pop packs easily.

Its a very good dps chest but you'll need extra points on the tree for Charisma, Enlighten 3-4 or Wrath reservation enchant (you need 2 of those options) to fit the Aspect into the build. I haven't seen the AoE of the web debuff so it's hard for me to say how good would it be in practice.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the leveling. I've got about 18-20ex that should give me a good start. And yeah you'd definitely have to work around trying to fit the chest in but I really like the idea of it. Still trying to figure out what chest I'm gonna go for though

I figured out Enlighten 4 + Charisma node would be enough for the 3 auras using https://poe.mikelat.com/#sW5Gil/tNrp.iRh . Im still unsure of what gems Im supposed to be replacing though. In the thread you say "you can use the 2 spare socket according to your preference, like Herald of Thunder+Enlighten 4" what 2 spare sockets are you referring to exactly?


Nvm just realized on your character youre using Vaal Discipline+Encreased Duration twice, I assume thats the extra 2 slots youre referring to are

Hi Bristoling

Thanks for this build. I'm loving it. I played different variations of wander but i think this might be my favourite.
I'm currently lvl 91 (playing on standard at the moment), and i changed a couple of small things compared to your build (just personal preference).

I'm clearing fine every map (t16 aswell), but the bosses from t16 up are very though. I feel quite squishy and my dps seems a bit low (780k right now).

Would you mind checking my char and telling me what i should upgrade next (small point, i use shaper's touch gloves instead of thunderfist to get more es / accuracy).

Thanks

p.s. usually for clear i use headhunter + "legacy bisco" just for more drops and speed. (clear is easy even withouth headhunter)

Thanks for the guide, really fun build.

Any special reason for using Vortex on the CWDT 1 setup? It seems having Conductivity would be more DPS but maybe I'm missing something.

I will be the case since both Headhunter or Bisco's don't contribute to ES pool directly, so bosses will be a bit harder. Especially vs bosses with phases where Headhunter won't bring anything to the table. You could either swap the belt/amulet before the boss or just not run T16 bosses with mf setup.

For upgrades, I'd look into getting curse corrupted gloves, since this will enable your Profane Bloom explosions more reliably, I'd also try to fit Elemental Focus instead of GMP in your Barrage setup, it should be a bigger dps gain since you have Dying Sun.
Further down the line, you can try to chance/scour +1-2 Barrage Hubris (or use Trash to Treasure prophecy), or buy either and Elder Regalia with crit mod or just a regular ES Regalia with high ES. Especially in Standard there should be plenty of legacy ES gear with 700-850 ES, which is simply amazing for this build. You would be at 9k ES with a 730-750 ES Regalia, and those 6 linked cost under 3ex.

Before I had Elemental Weakness corrupted gloves I did use it in my CwDT setup, Vortex is pretty decent since it chills bosses for 10% slowing them down, so it's a nice defensive boost.

Hey,

have you thought about using a Shaper Ring with assasins mark on hit.
That would allow us to take Malediction as our last ascendancy, while still maintaining
Power charge generation, aswell as gaining a 10% total dmg Multiplier aswell as 10% less dmg taken and a whole bunch of added chaos dmg.
